FYI system here is SuSE 7.2 and I have the CD's. I'm wondering if I could configure the Ethernet card and simply transfer files that way, burn CD's and then go on from there??? It took a power bump just one too many times and fsck just ate up the inodes.
I am concerned by your statement about your inodes getting eaten up. If the files you need are still intact with the inodes you should be able to copy them over to: another machine using something like scp or sftp (you will need to start a ssh daemon to do this), or to another drive by hooking it up to your machine as a slave drive, or make CDs if you have a CDR drive in there or can add a CDR drive. you can make CDs from any terminal (aka CLI). I could walk you through any of these procedures if you need and give me enough information.
